The contemplative practice of Ikebana or Kado, the Japanese art of flower arranging, brings together many elements so that we can have a more direct experience of all our sense perceptions.

The practice cultivates an overall mindfulness/awareness, and each arrangement becomes a reflection of our present state of mind.

Classes cover the basics of Ikebana from how to cut a stem to how to place plant materials in a container. There will also be exercises on perception and contemplations to help us find joy, harmony, and authentic expression in creating arrangements. Classes are open for each student, at their own pace, to explore materials, themes, Sogetsu curriculum, and individual curiosity. There may be both beginners and more experienced students in the classes.
